Disappointment - Highway Running

Well I bought these shoes because I read and was told how good Brooks shoes are. So I decided to try them out. The side of the sole digs into my foot. I felt it as soon as I put the shoe on. As my first pair of Brooks I was disappointed. Maybe the one I had didn't cut or glue well. The shoes also felt a little tighter than I expected. Either way, I'll be back and probably won't try the Brooks brand again.

Pros
  • Women's
Cons
  • Almost Never

Comfortable but slippery on concrete

Although I love Brooks shoes and also wear them as work shoes I was a bit disappointed in them. I put them on the day after receiving them and ended up slipping on the sidewalk and landing on my knee. They were also slippery in my kitchen like they had oil on their soles. They are comfortable but not safe to wear. As I threw the box away I can't return it so it's basically a waste of money when it comes to shoes for work. (I am a nurse). I would not recommend them for running as I slipped while

Pros
  • Road running
Cons
  • Expensive

Shoes broken/wrinkles on top

I really like the style and look of these Brooks. Unfortunately, shoes that are left and tied have an awkward crease in the toe area that makes the shoe unwearable. I tried 3 pairs of different sizes of the same shoe and each pair wrinkled in the toe area and rubbed the toe in the same way (see photo). I only wore them at home for about 30 minutes and the crease became too uncomfortable. Unfortunately I have to go back and look for a cheaper model. Every other aspect of the shoe is great!

Pros
  • Sportswear
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Left shoe slips out while walking

I love Brooks shoes. I've been using them for almost 10 years now and love every pair I've bought. Unfortunately, this pair doesn't sit properly on one of my legs. The left shoe slides outwards when walking/running. I've never had problems like this with shoes. I walk to work and ran 5 miles my first day in this shoe to fix while I walk all day. It's like the pillow at the bottom is slightly misaligned or wobbly, like a pillow you put in the dryer. Since I paid 60€ I would like to send them…

Pros
  • Running
Cons
  • Negative present

Still nothing for a narrow foot

They didn't fit me. I have narrow feet (usual size 10N) but since reviewers said they are narrow I decided to try them. I ordered half a size larger than recommended so 10.5 is average. They were very roomy and looked big on my feet. However, when I first tried them on, I found them comfortable enough, so I decided to ignore my vanity and keep them to myself. However, after wearing them for days while doing renovations in my house, I found that my heel hurt at night. Decided to come back and…
